Users running 1.5 beta should have already received notice via an automated update dialogue box. New features include improved Pop-up blocking, enhanced automated update, better OS X support and faster back and forward page navigation buttons. A full list of features can be found in the release notes as well as the downloaded page." My copy is 24 seconds away from downloaded ;)

  2. I hope it passes the acid2 test like Safari by puppetluva · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    It was impressive to see that Safari can now pass the acid2 test. . . Now it is the most standards compliant browser:

    I'm rooting for firefox to catch up -- it is usually the heavyweight in this area but it has been passed up.
